This section explains how to most easily identify your device. For a development board, explain the name(s) printed on the board. For an android device, find out the strings as reported under settings.

The PCB has the following silkscreened on it:

PINE_TAB-V1_1-20190617

In android, under Settings->About Tablet, you will find:

Sunxi support

Current status

Currently supported by out-of-tree mainline Linux forks.

Images

Prebuilt postmarketOS images

Manual build

You can build things for yourself by following our Manual build howto and by choosing from the configurations available below.

U-Boot

Mainline U-Boot

As we currently do not have any specific U-Boot config for this device, Use the pine64-lts_defconfig build target temporarily as a hack.

Linux Kernel

Mainline kernel

Currently not supported in mainline.

Use the sun50i-a64-pinetab.dtb device-tree binary in the downstream forked kernel at [1].

FEL mode

Use the fel-sdboot.sunxi file in sunxi-tools to enter FEL mode.

Adding a serial port

PineTabs have the serial port multiplexed with the audio jack, see [2] for the pinout.

There's a switch to switch audio jack between headphone and UART, located near the microSD slot.

Device disassembly

Use Plastic tool to loose the plastic clips between the main body and the back cover. Finish this operation at the side that the keyboard pogo pins are located.
